452 kcal · 30 min · 4 servings

Ingredients

• 400 g Spaghetti
• 1 Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tsp Oil
• 500 g Tomatoes
• 1 bunch Basil
• 0.5 bunch Oregano
• 50 g grated Parmesan
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions

1. 1. Peel the onion and the garlic clove. Chop both ingredients very finely. Heat some oil in a pan and sauté the onion-garlic mixture in it until fragrant.
2. 2. Wash the tomatoes. Cut them into coarse cubes. Add the tomato cubes to the onion mixture in the pan.
3. 3. Finely chop the basil and oregano. Set aside half of the chopped herbs.
4. 4. Stir the other half of the herbs into the tomato sauce. Season the sauce generously with salt and pepper.
5. 5. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for one hour. This means it should only bubble very gently.
6. 6. Strain the finished sauce through a fine sieve (e.g., a fine mesh strainer) to remove solid components like onion pieces and tomato skin. This will give you a smooth sauce.
7. 7. Cook the pasta in salted water, exactly as stated on the package. Pay attention to the specified cooking time.
8. 8. Reheat the strained sauce in a pot.
9. 9. Add the remaining half of the chopped herbs to the warm sauce and stir them in.
10. 10. Place the drained pasta on the plates. Pour the tomato sauce over it. Sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese.
